himself as yet, except so far as is his
babit to keep a general run of important

can be said he believes and has long
believed in the necessity for legislation
by Congress to regulate and control the
great corporations which carry on COM

doubt of the constitutional power OF
Congress to do this. and his sympathies
are therefore entirely with the present

NiggardIy Salaries.

The Carson Tribune says: 1t appears TO
be the general desire Of legislators to re-
duce the salaries Of county officials to
such low figures that II carried out will
deter competent men from accepting any
position. The old sdge, " the laborer is
worthy Of his his hire" applies to county
officers as we'll as to the man who tills the
soil or packs the bod. and it does seem
poor policy to reduce salaries TO q figure
below the pay Of an ordinary day laborer.
True. it may raise legislators in the esti.
nation Of a few. but as a rule the people
of the several counties would prefer to see
their officers properly remunerated.

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
RILL.

Commenting ON the passage CT the
Interstate Commerce bill, the New York
World remarks: Whatever the defcien.
cies Of the measure may be, it can he
regarded as the Congressional declaration
of an important principle. 1t means
that the national jurisdiction shall reach
abuses which that Of the separate States
cannot, and which there was no existing
provision fer.
1t also throws an additional response.
bility on the people, in that it enhances
the Importance of purity in elections,
whereby the men interested in preserv.
ing the abuses may be kept from con.
trolling the Commission provided for by
the bill. If the influences opposed to
the measure are allowed to elect the
President it had better not have them
passed. But if the people cannot be
trusted to stand this test there is less
vitality in the Republic than it is given
credit for.
1t is thought probable that the rail.
road companies will try to discredit the
law in the start by doing what they can
to make it obnoxious to the public. This
is possible, but the wisdom to meet new
evils as they arise will not be found
wanting. An important blow has, at
least, been struck at a radical one.

A Duet Bet,ocen ywo Plants

some time ago my pupils were,g much
interested in finding what they not in
appropriately termed hand to- hand
conflict between a sumach and q climb
ing bitter sweet Judging from appear
anccs when found, the sumach was about
two inches in diameter when the bitter
sweet first wound its coils about it. As
the growth OF each proceeded, these
coils became tighter and tighter, cutting
into and through the bark and growing
layer OF the sumach until it seemed to be
threatened with strangulation. 1t was
not, however, to be so easily vanquished.
1t resolutely kept up its manufacture of
new material, which, owing to the tight
embrace of the vine, had to be dis
tributcd along spiral line immediately
above the coils. Just below the coils the
supply appeared to be cut off, as the trunk
was then shrivellcd, and in most places
dead. Although rendered unsiphtly. the
tree presented the curious features of
having two spirals, one of living, grow
ing, the other of dead and decaying ma
tcrial wound about its heart wood. so
that the whole rcscmblcd huge auger.
TO avenge this dcformity, the sumach
proceeded to push its new growth out
above and over the coils of the vine until
at one place it had completely cncom-
passed it, The vino, in turn, was now so
tightly squeezed as 70 bc cut off from
communication with the ground and be-
low this point but little life remained.
Victory now seemed within the grasp of
the sumach The vine, however. i'm its
last extremity now united itself with the
growing layer Of the sumach, and thus
literally drew from the camp of the
enemy whatever supplies wore needed
TO keep its top bright and thrifty. At
this stage the conflict was cut short by
the axe OF the collector, and the com
batauts, locked in each others arms
were laid away among the curiositics Of
a museum. II Journal Of Education.

Animal Medicine.

Animals get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suf-
fering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek dark, airy places, drink
water and sometimes plunge into it.
When dog has lost his appetite he eats
that species of grass known as dogs
grass, which acts rs an emetic and pur-
gativc. Cats also eat grass. Sheep and
cows, when i'll, also seek out certain
herbs. An animal suffering from chron-
ic rheum ltism, always keeps, as far as
possible, IN the sun. The warrior ants
have regularly organized ambulauces.
Latrellc cut the anttenne of an ant, aud
other ants came and covered the wound
ed part with transparent fluid secrcted
In their little mouths.
If n chimpanzce is wounded it stops
the bleeding by placing its hand on the
wound and dressing it with leaves or
grass. When an animal has n wounded
leg or arm hanging on, it completes the
amputation with its teeth. A dog, on
being stung on tho muzzle by viper,
was observed to plunge its head repeat
edly for several days in running water.
The animal eventually recovered.
A sporting dog was run over by a
carriage. During three weeks in win
ter it remained lying in a brook, where
its food was taken to it. The animal
recovered. a terrier hurt its right eye !;
1t remained under counter avoiding
heat and light, although it habitually
kept close to the fire; it adopteda gene
raj treatment, rest and abstinence from
food. The local treatment consisted in
licking the upper surface of the paw,
which it applied to the wounded eye;
again licking the paw when it became
dry.
Animals suffering from rheumatic
fever treat themselves by the continued
application of cold water, which NJ. De-
launey considers to be more certain than
any of the other methods. In view of
these interesting facts we are, he thinks,
forced to admit that hygiene and thcra-
peutics, as produced by animals, may,
in the interest of physiology, be studied
with advantage. Many physicians have
been observers of animals, their diseases.
and the methods adopted by them in
their instinct to cure themselves, and
have appropriated the knowledge so
brought under their observation in their
practice. : Boston Budget.
